German demonstration. Accounts in
German papers Of the incidents In
Paris on Thursdsy represent
that the repression Of a
a popular outburst was solely accom-.
plished by the presence Of such masses
Of troops all slong the route trav-
elled by President Grevy aud bis
mir listers on their way to the review
at Longchamps, as bad never been
seen In Paris since the day OF the EN-.
pirc, and the papers seek to prove that
the populace were in reality unable to
make demonstration and that the ex.
traordinary precautions taken by the
government, although successful In
psralyxlng the Chsuvinists, had given
fictitious aspect to the calmness
which characterized the day. The
German embassy In Paris was CO.
pecislly guarded. There was no ap.
pesrance OF troops in front Of the
building, but body Of cavalry was
kept on the alert and moving In the
vicinity from early morn till midnight.
The return to the German people OF a
calmer mood toward France can be 40.
cured. however, only by the cessation
Of the systematic persecution OF Ger
man residents in Frerch towns, yet
the tendency seemed all the other

to publish the names and addresses
Of Germans who have places Of
business In France. and warn mem.
bers Of the Patriotic League not to
have any dealings with them. The

ployes are being hunted out OF their

and II 10 estimated that the Germans
holding situations In France, who lAst
year nun bered $4,000, have been de-
creased one-half within the past aI
months. Count Won Minister, Ger.
man Ambassador at Paris, is having q
constant stream Of appeals for help
against the outrsges which are being
perpetrsted on Germans. The suffer.
